Things change.
BREAKING: Democrat Josh Harder wins election to U.S. House in California's 10th congressional district. #APracecall at 6:20 p.m. PST. @AP election coverage: https://t.co/miEWlbTVZW #Election2018 #CAelection— AP Politics (@AP_Politics) November 14, 2018
We can stop bitching at "the Democrats" for lacking a "unifying message" and for not presenting some kind of a consolidated agenda.
Fuck that shit.
Stop asking "why did Democrats win?" and start seeing why any individual candidate managed to pull it off given the uphill slog that Republicans have strewn with obstacles for us.
The Dems targeted 8 swing districts with GOP incumbents who've enjoyed large NRA support, ran candidates with strong Gun Safety messages, and they won all of them.
8 for 8. Every. Fucking. Race.
And no, it wasn't just because of the gun thing. There's always a multitude of factors, and voter demographic slices, and and and. But if there's a single overarching take-away, I have to say it was because DNC and the other Dem Party managers were smart and let each candidate go with their strength, and to run to their own constituencies' issues.
Get hip, people. Lock Step is what those other idiots do. We're not them.
